Trash to Treasure projects
Over at The Woodgrain Cottage, Shayna says, “I recently visited my grandma and we ended up in the garage… She had a little side table that had seen much better days that came home with me.” Fortunately, Shayna could see lots of potential in the little table.
“When we had a few dead trees cut down in our yard last year, I saved some of the stumps to decorate with,” Brandi of Don’t Disturb This Groove explains. She used them on her front porch for fall decor, but recently decided it was time to bring one indoors.
Reeves explains how she got a free nightstand at The Weathered Door: “ I got this nightstand when I bought a dresser… the owner threw it in and I was not going to pass that up.” Since it was free, she felt brave enough to try something a little different from her other furniture makeovers.
“This kids workbench is built on one of those old ugly end tables that probably everyone had in the 90′s. I originally used it for a base of a train table for my boys but it turned out that they preferred building their tracks on the floor,” explains Heidi at Honeybear Lane.
Shanna from Restoration Redoux says, “ I literally rescued this table out of my friends dumpster. One leg was wobbly, and it was all scratched up.” Time for a makeover!
Tranae, who blogs at Becoming Fabulous, tells us, “Over the last two years a rusty old bar cart has been sitting on my patio. It belonged to my grandmother so throwing it away wasn’t an option. Instead I decided to give it a little TLC and bring it back into the house.”
Sherry of Pondered Primed Perfected found this curvy little end table on the roadside. Initially, she painted it bright blue, but decided that the table needed something different to reach it’s full potential.
When Karen of The Weekend Country Girl arrived home the other day, this end table was waiting by the front door. ”The junk fairy apparently made a visit while we were gone!” she laughs.
